NHRA Drag Racing followed by Moto GP just rocks! The day went Petrolhead breakfast just down the road (Im about 5 minutes from Plunket Ave), run the dogs around Stonefields, bath them on the way home, get home, quick lunch, do some gardening & shit around the house to keep the mad woman happy then a couple of ciders while watching motorsport. thats a pretty good Sunday IMO

That WTCC is boring as. Every thing else they put on is great.

Wow! Lada on a comeback! Didn't even know they still existed. Though it seems the car isn't even on sale yet. weird rules that allow that! We could do a trade deal with them for some butter maybe?

So its actually a Nissan or a Renault in drag.

I read an online press article and it sounded like a unique design using various engines and boxes from Nissan / Renault. So I didn't think it was simply in drag, indeed it is intended to go head to head in pricing with Dacia so it would need to be designed to be cheaper to make.
